Iceland Volcano Eruption Update; Toxic Gas Emissions, Lava Walls at Risk of Being Overtopped
In Iceland, some of the lava walls protecting the town of Grindavik are at risk of being overflowed due to lava turbulence. As the eruption enters its 7th day, we received a reminder that the Reykjanes volcano is still producing amounts of toxic volcanic gasses. This video will discuss what occurred in the last 24 hours, along with recent scientific findings involving this volcano.
